The ability of forests to provide a wide range of ecosystem services is being challenged in the current context of climate change, which involves an increase in interlocking regimes of natural and human-induced disturbances

To limit the negative impacts of the specialization of agricultural systems and the intensification of practices, studies are being carried out on the reconnection between animal and plant production on a territorial scale.

Agricultural and food systems (AFS) are being challenged with increasing climate risks, declining biodiversity (resulting in multiple biotic hazards), and the redefinition of relationships between human and non-human societies in a context of heightened health risks

Many European countries have experienced unprecedented wildfires in the past decade, causing damage to ecosystems and infrastructure, as well as civilian deaths.

Representation, Analysis and Management of Multiple Risks and Uncertainties

The challenge facing the XRisques metaprogram is to better understand the multiple risks weighing on territories and agricultural, food and environmental systems, in particular the emerging risks linked to rapid transitions in these systems. XRisques aims to establish connections between risks of various kinds, to consider the propagation processes of interacting risks, and to better comprehend the vulnerability of systems in their totality, diversity and complexity. It also aims to compare the different visions of risk from a perspective where prevention and management strategies, as well as public actions and policies, can emerge.
